Sky Sports has provided additional information regarding a significant VAR decision that was made between Liverpool and Newcastle United last month at St. James’ Park
Despite captain Virgil van Dijk receiving an early red card for a challenge on Alexander Isak, Liverpool recovered to win the match 2-1. After a speedy VAR check, ref John Streams gave the Dutch protector his most memorable red card as a Liverpool player.
Match officials for Sky Sports: The show “Mic’d Up,” which highlights Proficient Game Match Authorities Restricted head refereeing official Howard Webb and is facilitated by previous Newcastle and Liverpool striker Michael Owen, has endeavored to explain the call by communicating the connection between video colleague ref Stuart Attwell and on field arbitrator John Creeks.
Attwell, VAR, expressed following Van Dijk’s test on Isak: APP, or the attack on possession phase. Possibility of an offside call Possible DOGSO (delaying an obvious opportunity to score a goal).
Creeks answered by saying, Outside, outside, fresh. It is also a red card. He is finished, and the man has been managed a red card.
While Creeks was considering a potential offside in contrast to Isak and the test by Van Dijk, Attwell encouraged Streams to postpone giving the red card.
As he said, Streams appeared to be positive about his choice to excuse the Liverpool chief. No. The man is his entry point. Through the man, he plays the ball. He gets through the man.
Attwell continued: On VAR: “Okay, can you adjust the camera’s angle? Please offer a different point of view regarding the contact.
Okay, it looks like a mistake. Brooksy, I’m pleased with the foul; Stuart is it. Standby will be checked with only sanction and APP.
Alright, so I’m satisfied with that… freeze it where it is, freeze it where it is. Okay, so the ball will hit him in the front.
The attacker is in position without the need to move. He is moving directly into the penalty area, so that’s fine.
Brooks informed Van Dijk in the interim on the field: They will evaluate the decision. However, he is going inside.
They will verify one thing after another. Basically pause! Assuming that you want to leave, I will tell you immediately. They just checked the area, and it appears to be a foul.
Don’t make poor decisions. Except if he (Isak) is off base, you will be excused, tune in. It is very obliged.
The VAR check confirmed that Isak received a red card for a foul on Van Dijk outside of the penalty area.
Van Dijk served his one-match suspension against Aston Manor throughout the end of the week, yet the Football Affiliation has blamed him for utilizing undermining language toward Streams, so he could deal with extra repercussion.
Given the previously unseen footage, Webb praised the decision-making and efficiency of VAR in this instance.
He stated, “We think it is a good communication of a foul by John Brooks and we see in the end Van Dijk does play the ball but, to get there, he clearly kicks through the foot of Isak and it denies a goalscoring opportunity.” Van Dijk played the ball in the end. “We think it is a good communication of a foul by John Brooks,” he continued.
“Van Dijk is not protected by the fact that that would have been a yellow card for an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball in the penalty area. Since it isn’t inside the punishment region, DOGSO should in any case get a red card for it.
